Impact of processing trade on Chinese technology advancement

摘要

This paper estimates the impact of processing trade on Chinese technology advancement. The model is estimated using the method of multiple linear regression. The results are when increase dollar of processing export with imported materials, the growth rate of Chinese technological progress can increase 109.5322%.When increase dollar of processing import with supplied materials; the growth rate of Chinese technological progress can increase 62.6031%. When it is processed and assembled that we only import the accessories, they have hindered the technological progress of China. Therefore, we draw the conclusion: China mainly depends on introducing technology to accelerate the national technological progress at present.
